Aysha - 03/14/10

Aysha will have MRI/CT scans in 3 months again to continue to monitor the still existing AVM. There seems to be some confusion about the status of her AVM from family and friends. So, the latest procedure done is trying to remove the last part of the AVM. But this process of using radiation takes 2/3 years, meanwhile the 1cm AVM is still there with risk of bleed. Since the best option is not available to us (location is inaccessible), which would be to remove the whole AVM at once, we are left with embolization and radio therapy.
